Philco Type 611 in New Zealand
#7

Yes: The "gramo socket" should be an audio input. In the USA we call it a "phono" input (for phonograph). In the UK, Australia and New Zealand, it's called gramophone.

But anyway...

This input was originally for the set owner to connect a phonograph, er, gramophone to that input. You can use it for any audio device needing amplification, provided that the input is isolated from the radio with a capacitor. It should have a capacitor inside providing that isolation. But only the set's schematic would tell for certain.

So, you could use your radio to amplify your iPod, myPod, yourPod, hisPod, herPod, etc. Icon_wink

More details on using a phono input for an iPod may be found here:

While this link shows how to wire up an iPod input to a radio that did not have one originally, it will also show how to use this input for modern devices.

Oh, David, I received your email, thanks very much - I will send you a reply later on today, if that's OK.
